The 10% richest are responsible for two thirds of the climate change. I see an easy way to cut climate change down to a third of its current situation while preserving 90% of the world's population...

High-income groups disproportionately contribute to climate extremes worldwide - Nature Climate Change

While climate injustice is widely recognized, a quantification of how emissions inequality translates into unequal accountability is still lacking. Here researchers examine how affluent groups disproportionately contribute to the increase in mean temperature and the frequency of extreme events.

Scientists Studying Earth's Trees Issued a Stark Warning to Humanity

From towering coastal redwoods to dinosaur-era Wollemi pines and firs that make the perfect Christmas trees, even our most revered woody plants are in grave danger.

Very cool we're about to re-enter a primitive age where every hurricane is a surprise.

Hurricane season is here. NOAA is in shambles. What could go wrong?

Trump could make this year’s hurricane season deadlier.

My inner cynic says someone owning the island puts only 1 house on it. Ok, and a guest house.

But, hey, they'll still leave it 80% undeveloped. That's something, isn't it? Huh? :horse:

We better get ready to embrace density. How much of the world's population lives within 10mi of a coastline, again?

When Le Corbussier went to New York circa 100 years ago, americans asked him about how he saw the building concentration. He answered that the skyscrapers were too few and too small.
When The Cathedrals Were White, more in the humanistic side of architecture/urbanism kind of read. I liked very much in the day:

Wet bulb temp / humidity of > 95F (35C) is the human viability limit. After that, cooling is required, as the human body can no longer cool itself sufficiently via perspiration.

Humanity won't suffer extinction at that level, but there will be a LOT fewer people (not to mention, other life forms).

This is the legacy we are handing down to our progeny. And it's pretty much baked-in at this point (pun unintended, but effective).

I think I will absolutely live to see a mass death event the likes of which has never been seen before when a power outage coincides with a wet bulb humidity event. Might be in India. Might be is the Southeastern US. But 100's of thousands will die over a matter of hours.

Looking at this chart again, it looks like the Industrial Revolution saved us from becoming hunters-gatherers again. The curve appear to plunge under the "safe climate zone" just before the industrial emissions began to boil the planet.
Btw the safe climate zone is for agriculture to be possible. Humans can survive without it. And I would have preferred a colder planet over what's happening now tbh... but here we are.
